Not sure if this is allowed, but I’m looking for any recommendations for accompanying comprehension resources for any classic novels. Throughout high school and college I always loved the classics we would read in my lit classes, but I don’t think I would have enjoyed or even finished any of them without a professor dissecting and explaining the book as we read it. I’ve graduated from college now, and I miss reading those kinds of books, but I just don’t trust my individual reading comprehension skills to be able to fully appreciate them on my own. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for free resources that could help with this? YouTube videos, reading guides, websites, whatever. Open to any books.
For reference some of my favorites I read in school: Beloved, The Brothers Karamazov, Anna Karenina, any Shakespeare, Catcher in the Rye

You can find literary analysis on YT, I’m sure it depends on which books but if you just type in “literary analysis” or “deep dive on novel” or whatever I’m sure you’ll get plenty of options you’ll be interested in.
I’m not sure if this is exactly what you’re asking for, but [Classics Summarized](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDb22nlVXGgfwG1qbOtNgu897E_ky_8To) and [Modern Classics Summarized](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDb22nlVXGgdqW8nItlSgv9OXYCbBVBdn) both by Overly Sarcastic Productions cover a lot of books, explaining the contents with a mix of summarisation and humour.
